Description

  In the present invention, for example, in the case of a caster movable suitcase or the like, when slide fasteners that open and close the storage chamber are arranged in a pair, both of the two slide fasteners close to each other in the closing direction are closed to close each other. The present invention relates to a lock device for a suitcase or other travel case in which two sliders in a slide fastener are concentrated together to be locked / unlockable.

  Conventionally, for example, in a suitcase that is opened and closed by a slide fastener, for example, when two slide fasteners for lateral opening and vertical opening are arranged in parallel in one storage room, or the suitcase is divided inside If the partition wall is provided to form two storage chambers and each has two slide fasteners for opening and closing each storage chamber, the suitcase is separate from the slide fastener for opening and closing one storage chamber. There are various types such as a case where a slide fastener is provided for opening and closing a pocket portion serving as a small storage chamber provided on the outer surface. Both the slide fasteners of these suitcases are provided with two sliders, and by bringing the two sliders in one slide fastener close to each other, the meshing portion constituting the slide fastener is closed, and the two sliders are connected to each other. The meshing part which comprises the said slide fastener is open | released by making it separate.

  In this way, the two sliders in one slide fastener are locked by the lock device attached to the suitcase itself when they are brought close to each other. For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, in order to prevent the sliding operation in the direction in which the two sliders are separated from each other in order to keep the two sliders close to each other, A fastener locking / unlocking tool has been proposed in which two sliders are sandwiched from both sides by a pair of restricting pieces attached so as to be freely advanced and retracted.

  Further, as disclosed in Patent Document 2, in one slide fastener, a box attached to the suitcase itself so as to be freely opened and closed in a state where two sliders each having a handle are brought close to each other. There has been proposed a bag-type fastener lock in which both sliders are completely covered by a lock-shaped lock body, and the handle is restricted to the locked state by the side wall of the lock body.

  Further, as disclosed in Patent Document 3, in a suitcase formed by juxtaposing a slide fastener for horizontal opening and a slide fastener for vertical opening in one storage chamber, two sliders of the slide fastener for horizontal opening are provided. There has been proposed a suitcase that is locked by inserting a slider into an engagement groove of a lock mechanism attached to the suitcase itself in a state of being close to each other.

Further, two locking mechanisms 26a and 26b for preventing the pressing operation of the release buttons 25a and 25b are arranged at the top and bottom in the center of the housing 22 in plan view.

(Detailed internal structure of lock device)
Next, the detailed internal structure of the lock device 21 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, the arrangements of the first insertion portions 23a and 23b and the second insertion portions 24a and 24b, the release button 25a and the release button 25b, and the lock mechanism 26a and the lock mechanism 26b are symmetric with each other. Since both have the same configuration, only the first insertion portions 23a and 23b, the release button 25a, and the lock mechanism 26b will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a slide hook 31 integrated with the release button 25 a is arranged inside the housing 22 so as to be slidable in a horizontal direction along a guide groove (not shown). Two locking projections 31 a and 31 b are provided to project outward on the left end side of the upper edge of the slide hook 31 when viewed from the bottom. The rear surface side of the locking projections 31 a and 31 b extends from the inner wall of the housing 22 to the inside. Are connected to the non-moving portions 22a and 22b projecting toward each other via elastic members 33a and 33b. Engagement projections 32a and 32b are projected along the sliding direction on the front side of the locking projections 31a and 31b, and are engaged with the first insertion portions 23a and 23b by the elastic force of the elastic members 33a and 33b. The protrusions 32a and 32b always protrude.

  When the release button 25a is pressed, the engaging protrusions 31a and 31b compress the elastic members 33a and 33b, and the engaging protrusions 32a and 32b are retracted from the first insertion portions 23a and 23b to the left in plan view. As a result, the engaging protrusions 32a and 32b are released from the locking holes 14a and 14b of the first pullers 11a and 11b, respectively. Further, when the release operation of the release button 25a is released, the engagement protrusions 32a and 32b are projected to the first insertion portions 23a and 23b in the right direction in plan view by the elastic force of the elastic members 33a and 33b, so that the first pulling is performed. The engaging protrusions 32a and 32b are engaged with the locking holes 14a and 14b of the hands 11a and 11b, respectively. Note that the upper surfaces of the engagement protrusions 32a and 32b are tapered toward the distal end, and the engagement protrusions 32a and 32b are formed by forcibly inserting the pullers 11a and 11b into the insertion portions 23a and 23b.

In this way, when the locking piece 27 abuts on the locked portion 34 and is in a protruding state, the engagement protrusions 32a and 32b of the slide hook 31 are always protruded toward the first insertion portions 23a and 23b. maintain. That is, the first pullers 11a and 11b are kept locked in the first insertion portions 23a and 23b. On the other hand, the release button 25 a can be pressed by swinging the locking piece 27 in a direction away from the locked portion 34 of the slide hook 31.

  As the above-described lock mechanisms 26a and 26b, for example, by using a TSA lock structure approved and accepted by the United States Transportation Security Administration TSA (Transportation Security Administration), the key can be used even in the United States where the security check is the strictest. You can leave it on the airline.

  Next, an example of use of the configuration configured as described above will be described. When the travel case 1 is locked, the two sliders 10a and 10b of the first slide fastener 8 are brought close to each other toward the upper surface of the travel case 1. The first pullers 11a and 11b are inserted into the first insertion portions 23a and 23b of the housing 22, respectively. Similarly, the two sliders 12 a and 12 b of the second slide fastener 9 are brought close to each other toward the upper surface of the travel case 1, and the second pullers 13 a and 13 b are respectively attached to the second insertion portions 24 a and 24 b of the housing 22. insert. At this time, the engaging protrusions 32a and 32b are pushed away while compressing the elastic members 33a and 33b, and when the engaging holes 14a and 14b of the first pullers 11a and 11b are aligned with the engaging protrusions 32a and 32b, The engagement protrusions 32a and 32b are elastically restored, and the engagement protrusions 32a and 32b are engaged with the locking holes 14a and 14b, so that the first pullers 11a and 11b are respectively locked. The second pullers 13a and 13b of the two sliders 12a and 12b of the second slide fastener 9 are also locked in the second insertion portions 24a and 24b by the same operation as described above.

  When the travel case 1 is unlocked, the release buttons 25a and 25b on both sides of the housing 22 are pushed inward to release the pullers 11a, 11b, 13a, and 13b. That is, when the release button 25a is pressed, the engagement protrusions 32a and 32b are retracted from the first insertion portions 23a and 23b while the locking protrusions 31a and 31b compress the elastic members 33a and 33b, and the first slide The engaging protrusions 32a and 32b are released from the locking holes 14a and 14b of the first pullers 11a and 11b of the fastener 8, respectively, and the locks of the first pullers 11a and 11b are simultaneously released. The second pullers 13a and 13b of the two sliders 12a and 12b of the second slide fastener 9 are also released from the second insertion portions 24a and 24b in the same manner as described above.

  Further, when locking with a key, the locking piece 27 is swung toward the locked portion 34 side of the slide hook 31 by inserting the key into the key holes of the lock mechanisms 26a and 26b and swinging the cylinder. . As a result, the pressing operation of the release buttons 25a and 25b becomes impossible, and the locks of the respective pullers 11a, 11b, 13a and 13b cannot be released. When the lock mechanisms 26a and 26b are TSA-compliant, the TSA officer can inspect the baggage inside the travel case 1 by unlocking the lock mechanisms 26a and 26b using a dedicated key. The lock mechanisms 26a and 26b are locked as they were.

  Next, a modification of the first embodiment will be described. In this modification, the left and right release buttons 25a and 25b can be simultaneously locked by one lock mechanism 26 instead of the two lock mechanisms 26a and 26b described above. It is. That is, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, one locking mechanism 26 is provided in the center of the housing 22 in a plan view, and is locked so that the tip sides are opposite to each other at 180 ° facing positions on the circumferential surface of the cylinder. The pieces 27a and 27b are projected. The release buttons 25a and 25b cannot be pressed by swinging the locking pieces 27a and 27b toward the locked portions 34 formed on the slide hooks 31 on the left and right in a plan view by operating the keys. It is. The operations of the first insertion portions 23a and 23b and the second insertion portions 24a and 24b, the release button 25a and the release button 25b, and the lock mechanism 26a and the lock mechanism 26b are the same as those in the first embodiment. Detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  FIG. 7 shows still another modification of the first embodiment. That is, in FIG. 7A, two lock mechanisms 26a and 26b are provided in a horizontal row, and in FIG. 7B, the two lock mechanisms 26a and 26b are provided with their positions shifted from each other. The operation of the lock mechanisms 26a and 26b in this case is the same as in the first embodiment. Further, in FIG. 7C, one lock mechanism 26 is provided with a position shifted in one direction, for example, downward in plan view. The operation of the lock mechanism 26 in this case is the same as that of the above modification of the first embodiment.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, a dial lock mechanism 41 for bringing the release buttons 25a and 25b into a locked / unlocked state is added to the locking device 21 of the first embodiment.

(Detailed internal structure of lock device)
Next, the detailed internal structure of the lock device 21 in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the following description, the two dial lock mechanisms 41 have the same configuration except that their arrangements are symmetrical with each other, and therefore only one dial lock mechanism 41 on the right side in plan view will be described. Further, the first insertion portions 23a and 23b and the second insertion portions 24a and 24b, the release button 25a and the release button 25b, and the lock mechanism 26a and the lock mechanism 26b have the same configurations as those in the first embodiment, and thus the details thereof are described. The detailed explanation is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 9, three cam disks 43 a, 43 b, and 43 c that are rotatable coaxially and integrally with the three dials 42 a, 42 b, and 42 c are provided on the upper slide hook 31. Opposite side by side. A dial hook 46 that slides in and out of the three cam disks 43a, 43b, and 43c is urged toward the three cam disks 43a, 43b, and 43c by an elastic member 47.

  The dial hook 46 has a pushing operation portion 48 at the left end in a plan view, and three engaging portions 45 having V-shaped projections are formed on the right side in the plan view. Each dial 43 a, 43 b, 43 c has a V-groove 44, and a V-shaped engagement portion 45 is detachably engageable with the V-groove 44. A bifurcated locking lever 49 is urged counterclockwise in a plan view by a string winding spring 50 at a substantially center in a plan view inside the housing 22 so as to face the push operation portion 48 of the dial hook 46. One arm 49 a of the lever 49 is always in pressure contact with the pushing operation portion 48, and the other arm 49 b of the locking lever 49 is positioned in the gap between the slide hook 31 and the dial hook 46. Note that the pressing force of one arm 49a with respect to the pushing operation portion 48 is set to be smaller than the elastic force of the elastic member 47, and each of the V grooves 44 is moved by rotating the three dials 42a, 42b, 42c. In a state where each engaging portion 45 can be engaged, the dial hook 46 slides to the left in a plan view while pushing out one arm 49 a by the elastic force of the elastic member 47.

  When the release button 25a is changed from the unlocked state to the locked state by the dial lock mechanism 41, when at least one of the dials 43a, 43b, 43c is rotated, the elastic member 47 resists the elastic force, The inclined inner surface of the V-groove 44 and the inclined outer surface of the engaging portion 45 slide in the disengagement direction, and the dial hook 46 itself moves to the right in plan view. At this time, the locking lever 49 swings counterclockwise in plan view, and the other arm 49b contacts the left end of the slide hook 31 in plan view. Accordingly, the release button 25a is locked, and the first pullers 11a and 11b inserted into the first insertion portions 23a and 23b and engaged with the engaging projections 32a and 32b in the locking holes 14a and 14b are detached. It becomes impossible.

  In the dial lock mechanism 41 configured as above, first, the release buttons 25a and 25b are unlocked by rotating the dials 42a, 42b, and 42c so that the rotational positions of the dials 42a, 42b, and 42c are in a predetermined number order. Leave it in the state you let it. Then, by inserting a key into the key holes of the lock mechanisms 26 a and 26 b and swinging the cylinder, the locking piece 27 is swung toward the push operation portion 48 side of the dial hook 46. Then, the locking piece 27 presses the pushing operation portion 48, and the dial hook 46 slides rightward in plan view against the elastic force of the elastic member 47. At this time, the locking lever 49 swings counterclockwise in plan view, and the other arm 49b contacts the left end of the slide hook 31 in plan view. As a result, the pressing operation of the release buttons 25a and 25b becomes impossible, and the locks of the respective pullers 11a, 11b, 13a and 13b cannot be released. When the lock mechanisms 26a and 26b are compatible with TSA, the TSA officer can unlock the lock mechanisms 26a and 26b using a dedicated key, and when released, the three dials 42a, 42b and 42c Since the release buttons 25a and 25b are unlocked in advance, the luggage inside the travel case 1 can be inspected, and after the inspection, the lock mechanisms 26a and 26b are locked as they were. Alternatively, the three dials 42a, 42b, and 42c may be rotated at random.

  As a modification of the second embodiment, for example, the pressing operation of the release buttons 25a and 25b may be disabled by swinging the locking pieces 27 of the lock mechanisms 26a and 26b toward the slide hook 31 (described above). (Refer FIG. 3 of 1st Embodiment). In addition to those already described above, the methods according to the above embodiments and modifications may be used in appropriate combination.
